Will A Fleshlight Make .22 Quieter?

Duration: 14:13

This video explores the effectiveness of improvised muzzle devices, specifically a 'Fleshlight Torque', on the sound signature of a .22 LR firearm. While the experiment shows these devices can alter sound, they are not functional suppressors and do not meet NFA requirements for legal sound suppression. The host uses a 3D-printed 'Bubble Gun' and a BCM upper with CMMG conversion kits for testing.

Quick Summary

Improvised muzzle devices, like the 'Fleshlight Torque', can alter the sound of a .22 LR firearm but are not legal suppressors. The NFA strictly regulates devices with metal baffles intended for sound suppression. These experiments are purely for observing sound signature changes, not for creating functional suppressors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Fleshlight be used as a firearm suppressor?

While improvised devices like a 'Fleshlight Torque' can alter the sound signature of a .22 LR firearm, they are not functional suppressors and do not meet legal requirements for sound suppression under NFA regulations. They are purely experimental.

What is the 'Bubble Gun' firearm used in the test?

The 'Bubble Gun' is a 3D-printed rifle built using a DS1913 lower receiver and a CMMG .22 LR conversion kit. It's a platform for experimental firearm modifications and testing.

Are there legal implications for using improvised sound-dampening devices on firearms?

Yes, the National Firearms Act (NFA) strictly regulates devices intended for sound suppression. Any device with metal baffles designed to suppress sound is considered a suppressor and requires proper registration and tax payment.

What is the purpose of testing improvised muzzle devices?

The purpose is to experimentally observe how non-traditional items affect the sound signature of a firearm, specifically a .22 LR. It explores creative modifications but emphasizes these are not legal suppressors.
